Description

A growing retail and B2C technology business needs an experienced PIM consultant to design the foundations of its enterprise product data capability. This is a focused, time-boxed assignment to define the target model and hand over a clear blueprint for delivery.

You will set the design direction, not run the long-term function. The goal is a well-structured, governable PIM design that the business can build and operate with confidence.

Scope of the assignment

• Design the PIM data model, data dictionary, taxonomy and classification structures, including inheritance and variant models
• Define the data governance, ownership and quality framework for product information
• Produce a phased capability roadmap, sequencing increments that prove value at each stage
• Specify integration patterns and product data contracts between PIM and adjacent enterprise systems
• Define the approach to enrichment, validation and catalogue performance, including rule-based and AI-assisted methods
• Align the design with product, merchandising, digital, eCommerce and technology stakeholders

Key deliverables

• Target PIM data model and taxonomy design
• Governance and operating framework
• Integration and data contract specifications
• Phased delivery roadmap with clear handover documentation

What we are looking for

• Strong track record designing enterprise PIM capability in complex retail or B2C environments
• Hands-on experience with leading enterprise PIM platforms
• Strong data modelling and analysis skills, including profiling and migration design
• Proven ability to design governance and operating frameworks, not just configure tools
• Confident engaging and aligning non-technical stakeholders
• Able to work at pace and leave a clear, buildable design behind

Nice to have

• Experience across multi-brand, multi-locale catalogues at scale
• Familiarity with relevant product data and classification standards
